I have only recently connected with _anchored.roots_ (pictured above) on Instagram but I have really enjoyed learning about her work. #Handmade #natureinspired products intertwined with such positive energy. If you are interested in listening to your body, mind, heart, and soul, be sure to check out _anchored.roots_ .
Today I am following the lead of @cat_in_france to celebrate honest and authentic Instagram accounts. In honor of International #WomensDay I am extending this to showcase accounts that inspire me and are created by women. .
Please support Instagram accounts that are honest and authentic. Sometimes they are just getting started and sometimes they are well established but they all have one thing in common - they are putting a part of themselves and their vision into the world. .
Please support and follow those that deserve the followers. Unfollow the ones that use the work of others. If you see an image on an account that is clearly not owned by the person who posted it and not credited to the hard-working person that created it - please do not "like" the image. .
I hope you will join in the effort to celebrate the amazing, creative accounts that are out there. Who are some of your favorites
More to come...... . #followfriday

This peach moonstone is definitely my favorite from the new spring line! This ring is available as a size 8 1/4 in the shop, and I have one more stone available for a custom order. Hope this babe finds a home soon because it’s in my size and I’m sooo tempted to keep it! Save me from myself 😂 -Link in the bio-

And the last one for today ... frosted amazonite and silver and it’s beauty speaks for itself 💕
Perfect for summer and the beach the colours are reminiscent of the sea 🌊

Well I’ve missed two days of March #myhousethismonth 🤦🏽‍♀️ and even this post has little relevance 😂 I was going to post a few of the dark walls in the house for Day 8 but I’ve missed the light so it doesn’t look it’s best and no way am I messing up the grid with a bad photo 😝🤭😂 so instead I’m posting the dresser that I faffed about with earlier, by adding my @pot_and_vessel plants to it 🙌🏽 I really like how they look here 😍

P.s happy international women’s day to all the ladies on here! 😘

Did you know cheetah that Cheetahs are the only big cats that can’t roar.
Today, an estimated 9,000 to 12,000 cheetahs remain in the wild in Africa. In Iran, there are around 200 cheetahs living in small isolated populations.
Historically cheetahs were found throughout Africa and Asia from South Africa to India. They are now confined to parts of eastern, central and southwestern Africa and a small portion of Iran.
The cheetah is the world's fastest land mammal. With acceleration that would leave most automobiles in the dust, a cheetah can go from 0 to 60 miles an hour in only three seconds.
Female cheetahs typically have a litter of three cubs and live with them for one and a half to two years. Young cubs spend their first year learning from their mother and practicing hunting techniques with playful games. Male cheetahs live alone or in small groups, often with their littermates. Mortality rates for cheetah cubs in Africa run as high as 95 percent.

I just edited next batch of photos to make more color palettes and I’m think I’ll use this one for one of them.

“The blessedness of waiting is lost on those who cannot wait, and the fulfillment of promise is never theirs. They want quick answers to the deepest questions of life and miss the value of those times of anxious waiting, seeking with patient uncertainties until the answers come. They lose the moment when the answers are revealed in dazzling clarity.” — Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Happy Friday! ❤️”The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams.” Oprah Winfrey

It’s been 10 months since we moved and lately I’ve been feeling more homesick than ever. This happened when I left PA so I knew I’d go through it again but wow is it rough. I’ve had plane tickets and car rentals picked out and ready for checkout several times but each time I say no, decide to save my money and enjoy where I am today. Don’t get me wrong, it was necessary for us to move and have change. It’s this feeling I can’t shake. The one I got walking on the coast, hiking in the rain, the smell of the air. I miss it so much. I know if we left today I would miss it here too though which tells me I’m just holding on to the past. Something I was taught to do at a young age and I’ve never really been able to grow out of. I try not to talk about this a lot but felt the need to today. Have you ever felt homesick What have you done to work through it It feels like such a paradox especially for someone whose never understood what “home” meant.. a side effect of being uprooted and moved around the country, living in more houses than I can count growing up. Some days are easier than others and I believe eventually this will pass. I think right now I’ll enjoy my coffee and this overcast morning. Cheers

Inspiration Friday:
This is a view from the underside of the scalloped, see-through roof above our fire wood pile. The indentations have been filled with fallen leaves and debris. The ragged lines remind me of the text strips I've been making. Hmmm. Looking back on many of my paintings... I think maybe it's time to acknowledge how much I love lines, and particularly, lines that form a pattern like parallel lines.

Trying to capture illusive opalescent effect on new pair of earrings.

'Paint it black' - Day 67/365 #tinypainting challenge.
..
I barely ever touch my black pigment, always favouring Payne’s grey for a richer darkness. But this landscape called for an almost barren pigment. And I just Ioved the irony of that, that you sometimes need an absence of intensity to really awaken the life of a process or in this case, a deeply alive landscape that is often perceived as void of life.
.
The desert, for those who have the patience to look through the apparent desertion , will always make you hear what’s most present within.
